Hi guys

I got my VOIP phone set up through ISPAfrika today, and I got a number from them. The number starts with 021, so it seems like a normal CPT number.

Now my question: Would someone calling me from their Telkom line with a Weekender Package (that one where you can talk for free after 7 and over weekends) pay if they call me after 7 or would it be free?

I will really appreciate some help on this as my family use Telkom lines and they would like to call me after 7 and I don't want them to pay.

Regards
Jacques
 
The rates are variable... but NOT free... your ISP should have given you a schedule of costs when you signed up...
 
My question isn't whether I will have to pay, I know what rates I pay when I call out.

My question relates to when someone calls me, how much they will have to pay (and specifically whether it will be free after 7).

I think the Telkom weekender plan is just for on-net call, as they say. Would my number not form part of the Telkom network if it is a VOIP phone?

No, calls are charged to the caller under the "Other Operator" section on their Telkom account. This subject came up yesterday in another thread and I checked my Telkom accounts from the time when one of my clients tried VoIP before kicking it into touch.
 
Thanks MickZA.

Can you remember what those rates were?

Unfortunately I only have the option of VOIP as there isn't any copper lines in my apartment block, only fiber.

Click to expand...

Last July it was R17.10 for 33:32 during business hours (VAT excl).

Don't know if my having a "Telkom unlimited anytime plan" impacts the rates.
